To be happy means you have good things in your life and have things you believe in.
But- What do you do when you don’t believe in anything anymore? When everything told to us since birth has been all LIES?
From as early as childhood- I was taught about the Food Pyramid (now debunked as wrong) and told that is what we must eat to be healthy, that cereal was the best food in the morning (now debunked bc it’s full of sugar and wheat which causes massive health problems), that the Native Americans and the colonists were basically singing kumbaya, sharing Thanksgiving meals and other crap, meanwhile the colonists were slaughtering the Natives to steal their land. That NY was bought by the colonists for a mere $24 instead of, you know, our ancestors slaughtering the natives to steal their land- at gunpoint and knifepoint. But noooo, NY was bought for $24. Yeah, like Native Americans wanted or needed some random paper or coins that meant nothing to them. But that was the story told to us. And we had to believe it otherwise our tests would be marked wrong and we wouldn’t pass our classes and graduate.
I was taught that we should hide under our DESKS in case of a NUCLEAR attack from Russia. As if a nuclear missile were to ever get near and explode, that hiding under our students desks would prevent us from getting injured- from a NUCLEAR ATTACK. Like FFS. That shit was shoved down our throats and we were forced to believe it. And no, for all you youngin’s, we did not have social media or the internet or anything back in the day to look into the truth for ourselves. So it was basically whatever we were told, by schools, by newspapers, by radio, and TV/MSM. That was it. We didn’t have the internet to look up the truth for ourselves.
IT’S ALL BUNK. Everything we’ve ever been “taught” has been lies. Not just in school but everything they’ve been telling us the last few years, the last few decades, on food, on science, on medicine, on economics, on inflation, on job #s, on history, on historical figures, on CURRENT ppl- everything. ALL LIES. ALL PROPAGANDA.
***If almost everything is a LIE and we no longer believe in anything anymore, HOW does one BE HAPPY?***
All the happy ppl I know are the ones who still believe in everything they’re told. Or they may believe the govt or MSM maybe don’t get it 100% right, but they get it 95% right.
All the happy ppl are still happy bc they still BELIEVE in the govt, in the police, in MSM, in “science”, in “facts,” in “journalists,” in published journals, in studies, in everything they’re told to believe. THESE are the ppl who are still happy. The ones who still BELIEVE.
Not just in that stuff above, but these ppl are still happy bc they still believe in PEOPLE. That most ppl are good and blah blah blah.
I am NOT happy bc I no longer believe in people. Yes, sure, it’d be great if I could change my mind and believe that humans = good, but I don’t and I can’t force myself to believe in something I don’t believe in. I can’t force myself to believe in something when I don’t. I almost wish I was delusional- bc delusional ppl are the happiest ppl. The ones who don’t think deeply about anything are the ones who are the happiest.
Anyhow…what do I do? I can’t force myself to unopen my eyes about the realities of this world, about the corruption and lies by our govt and media and corporations. Nor do I believe in the goodness of most ppl (sure, maybe a few left, but where are they? the few good ppl aren’t in MY life, and hasn’t been for decades).
Anyway- I kinda wish I had my head stuck in the sand like most ppl are- blissfully unaware or don’t care about all the bullshit and lies peddled to us since birth.

I still say you lean in, believe in the void, believe in unbelief, in the central nothingness which will consume all in the end. It won’t make you happy, it’s just better than being a credulous fool.
That’s all anyone intelligent can do, be a little bit less foolish. Most of what we hear and read are half truths, containing bits of clues towards what is actually going on. A straight lie would be easier to shift. However certain groups have gotten really good at distorting what is to sell their agenda.
So be without agenda, without desire, and antagonistic towards both. Desire is the enemy of joy. Agenda the enemy of purpose. Spread wing and catch whatever wind is there to catch, be whatever there is to be.
Nothing can make anyone happy. It has that potential within it. The biggest cons are the things that promise the most. Life slips away like sand in an hourglass, and when it is gone all that will be left is regret.
There never was a point, that’s the final mask to lift. It was all bullshit the whole time. Getting upset about that is natural, but the sooner you accept that, the sooner you can try and find some part of yourself you want to advance.
The only certainty is that we exist, and even that can be argued.
